  Service star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A service star, also referred to as a battle star, campaign star, or engagement star, is an attachment to a military decoration which denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple bestowals of the same award.
Service stars are typically issued for campaign medals, service medals, ribbon awards, and certain military badges.
Service stars are different from award stars, which are issued for multiple awards of meritorious and combat decorations.

 Year Pins &How to Wear 'em!(Leaders' Online)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
The original service stars were unnumbered, and required the wearer to wear multiple stars to combine and represent the lenght of service.
In 1971, the BSA went to using service stars with numbers in the center to represent the year of service and to reduce the amount of pins worn on the field uniform.
Since the stars only come with the numbers 1 through 10 and multiples of 10 thereafter, two separate stars (a 10 and a 5, in your example) are required to indicate years of service in excess of ten, except when the total is an even multiple of ten.

 National Park Service: Badges and Uniform Ornamentation (Ornamentation: Length-of-Service Insignia)
Both the embroidered stars and the applied braid were issued on long, three inch wide strips of unbound forest green serge, which may account for the earlier discrepancy.
Apparently the edges of the material were to be turned and basted onto the coat sleeve, and in the case of the stripes, leaving two inches of the braid exposed.
Until 1956 the service stars were made up on a continuous roll, same as the stripes.

 Aligning the Stars
“The book’s title reveals our bottom line: Outstanding firms are consistently able to identify, attract, and retain star performers; to get stars committed to their firm’s strategy; to manage stars across geographic distance, business lines, and generations; to govern and lead so that both the organization and its stars prosper and feel rewarded.
In the case of professional service firms, the two are entwined because the professionals who manage, lead, and own shares in the firm are the same people who compete in the marketplace for clients.”
Less than a decade ago, most U.S. professional service firms looked similar… Within the past decade, more and more best-of-breed firms have decided to expand their service offerings and to become international, if not truly global.
